The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is ________ the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to
Vsevolod [243]

The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is <u>equal to </u>the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to Earth.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The force that attracts any two objects/bodies with mass towards each other is defined as gravitational force. Generally the gravitational force is attractive, as it always pulls the masses together and never pushes them apart.

The gravitational force can be calculated effectively using the following formula: F=GMmr^2  

where “G” is the gravitational constant.

Though gravity has the ability to pull the masses together, it is the weakest force in the nature.

The mass of the Earth and moon varies, but still the gravitational force felt by the Earth and Moon are alike.

What is a horizontal segment meaning on a position vs. time graph?
sergeinik [125]

The velocity of the object is zero (the object is at rest)

Explanation:

A position vs time graph represents the motion of an object; in particular:

  • The position of the object x(t) is represented on the y-axis
  • The time t is represented on the x-axis

For a position-time graph, the slope of the graph is given by

m=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta x is the change in position

\Delta t is the change in time

However, we see that this is equivalent to the definition of velocity:

v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Therefore, the slope of  a position-time graph is equivalent to the velocity of the object.

And so, a horizontal segment on a position vs time graph means that the object has zero velocity (because the slope is zero).
